F5                      C5
There is a river that washes you clean
           F5                               C5
There is a tree that marks the places you've been
                    A5                      D5
Blood that was spilled, although not your own,

                   A5             F5                     C5
For all of your tears, are the wages for things you have done
C5                    A5
And all of those nights
          F5                           G5
Spent alone in the darkness of your mind
F5              E5   A5   G5
Give it up, Let go
F5                                    G5
These are things you were never meant to shoulder

             F5                    C5
There is a river that washes you clean
             F5                              C5
There is a tree that marks the places you've been
                    A5                     D5
Blood that was spilled, although not your own
                  F5                G5
For all of those tears, love will atone

                   A5
So, give up the right
     F5                                  C5
To control the waves that empty out your life
              A5
Above wild skies
          F5                              G5
Are the rays that break the shadows we design

      F5      E5  A5  G5
Give it up, let go
      F5                                      E5  A5  G5
These are things you were never meant to shoulder
      F5       G5
Give it up, let go

             F5                    C5
There is a river that washes you clean
             F5                              C5
There is a tree that marks the places you've been
                    A5                     D5
Blood that was spilled, although not your own
                  F5                G5
For all of those tears, love will atone

F5                E5                 A5
I know the world can turn in different ways
F5                 E5               A5
Most of the time, we're simply hanging on
F5                     E5         A5
And under the signs of how we all behave
F5                                G5
We might find the place where we belong

( F5 E5 A5 G5 ) (3x)  F5  G5

              F5                   C5
There is a river that washes you clean
              F5                              C5
There is a tree that marks the places you've been
                    A5                      D5
Blood that was spilled, although not your own
                   F5                C5
For all of these things, love will atone
                   F5                         C5
For all of those nights, that you cried all alone
                 F5                C5
For all of your tears, love will atone
